Okay hey everyone I had this started and then it got deleted because my sister thought it would be funny. I did not find it funny however and I lost interest but I finally found it. I'm updating this and my other Young Justice fics. I will add my other ones after I have balanced these stories with my busy schedule. I get home after 5:00pm and I have homework and then sometimes soccer so most updates will be on weekends. I know this is so late and I am so sorry for that! I'll update this weekend I promise. I also have just finished fighting off a cold. ENOUGH EXCUSES and on with the story.
Angelina Aintithenniel – Thank You So Much for the review. I know I really love the part about Bruce remembering Dick as well and not forgetting him. I know I almost cry writing and then when I read them to check for errors. I'll try to update as much as possible updates will most likely on weekends.
Scotty1609 - thanks so much for reviewing. sorry but yes he (dick) is actually dead, although I will do an alternate ending where he lives as I'm not totally heartless. I was weeping too cause I mean seriously it's so sad yeah I'm pretty messed up.
Hawkpool - I know I feel bad for Bruce too I mean I just go and murder his son. Yeah...so trust me I am crying too while I write. Thanks so much for all the compliments you totally honor me and make me beam with pride while reading your review.
Reining3 – Hey thanks so much for the review. Yes I am going to have Wally's be way longer as I know exactly what I want to write for him (for the most part). Updates will be on most likely weekends.
Random Person – Thanks so much for the review and yes I will try to update soon most likely expect reviews On Weekends
Kaldur's POV
I'm the team leader. I'm the older one, the older brother. I'm the protector and I failed. I failed Robin, I failed Batman, I failed my king, I failed the league and I failed my team. I was supposed to make sure that everyone was safe instead I let Robin dive in front of Wally and take the bullet. I let him die. Everyone blames themselves although they shouldn't. I was the one who failed him. He was destined to be leader not dead. The boy had so much potential for the future, Brains, Strength, Spirit and Flexibility.
Dick Grayson's death was explained to the world that he died in a car accident that Batman created with a doll or dummy as Dick. Dick Grayson's funeral was sad and heartbreaking and invoked so much emotion in a lot of people. Batman or Bruce had arranged the rest of the league not in civvies as bodyguards to keep the citizens out as well as the reporters for his Dick Grayson funeral. Robin's funeral was held at Mount Justice. Everyone attended from Young Justice and the Justice League and everyone cried (well almost everyone). Batman cried too although it was just a few tears spilling down his cheeks. I admit I cried as well. It was sad to see a young life cut short. Wally cried loudest and longest while Red Arrow or Roy as he told us soothed him while quietly crying as well.
Robin may be dead but he is still here. Sometimes at night I hear his eerie laugh or I'll see a shadow of a boy who seems to be flying cross the sky almost seemingly gliding through the air. Or I'll smell sugar, sweat, and cinnamon which was what he smelt like. Sometimes the taste of freedom will be present in my mouth the taste of being free. I feel the bars underneath my hands when I've never even touched the ones of which he used to flip on. I'll see shadows of his poses when no one is there. I'll hear the whooshing of his bird-a-rangs or I'll see something one minute and the next it's gone. I know he is all around us. With us because I feel him, I, I see him, I taste his freedom when he flew, I hear him, I smell him and that's how I know he is here.
Robin was human. Artemis is also human but she was older than him by two years. She is fifth teen and he was thirteen. A kid. A child. A young independent tough brave child who risked his life to save others and lost his life doing the same thing. And now he is gone. FOREVER.
What really is forever I wonder. Thinking thoughtfully. I always thought that Robin and our team would last forever. But it didn't. Robin died and the team was left with the terror and riots of emotion his sacrifice brought. His death was like an earthquake the main event with several devastating aftershocks. His death shook all of us to the core. It made myself value friendship, family, Atlantis, my team, my powers, my king and so much more. I hoped I was able to teach Robin new things. He sure taught me more than I ever expected in more ways than one. Even his death taught me something: Treasure your memories and all of your friends and their difficult qualities because one day they may be gone.

And on that happy note…..the chapter ends.
YES I know this one was really short especially after not writing for so long but I needed to end it as I had no idea what to say for him. Next one should be up by Saturday or Sunday. Thanks so much for reading this story it means so much to me.
